the pressure equipment safety authority AB-513 Pressure Equipment Repair and Alteration Requirements This covers inspection and certification and other requirements for repairs and alterations to pressure equipment. AB-515 Requirements for Inspection Companies This specifies quality management system requirements for inspection companies that are required to hold a Certificate of Authorization Permit for integrity assessment under PESR section 11(2). AB-515a Inspection Company Authorized Scope form. This form is used to define the responsibility for key activities under the Inspection Company s program. AB-518 Pressure Piping Construction Requirements. This specifies quality management system requirements for persons who construct pressure piping. AB-519 Pressure Piping Alternative Test Methods Procedure Requirements. AB-520 Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Requirements Regarding the Use of FEA to Support a Pressure Equipment Design Submission. IB02-002 Certification of In-Service Pressure Equipment Inspectors. AB-516 The Pressure Equipment Safety Regulation User Guide provides valuable information and guidance to assist stakeholders in meeting the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Safety Regulation and in assuring the safe operation of their pressure equipment. The official versions of AB-513, other ABSA policy documents and AB-516 are posted on www.absa.ca. Directives and bulletins issued by the Administrator and other valuable information are also posted on the ABSA website. Note that per the Safety Codes Act section 1(g), the term construction includes repairs and alterations. Therefore, all applicable requirements established in regulations for construction, such as registration of welding procedures, the requirements of the Pressure Welders Regulations, and design registration also apply for repairs and alterations. 4.0 REFERENCED CODES AND STANDARDS AND OTHER GOOD ENGINEERING PRACTICES The adopted codes and standards and other recognized and generally accepted good engineering standards that are cited in AB-513 are listed below.

API 2201 Safe Hot Tapping Practices in the Petroleum and Petrochemical Industries 5.0 GENERAL Repairs and alterations to pressure equipment shall conform, insofar as possible, to the section and edition of the ASME Code most applicable to the work planned. The Code edition and addenda of the original code of construction must be used for the allowable design stresses and design evaluation. Other design requirements, such as material requirements, type and extent of non-destructive examination (NDE) and heat treatment must also meet the minimum requirements specified on the original Manufacturer s Data Report. Cautionary note: advances in technology based on service history have resulted in significant changes in the construction Code requirements for certain materials and other design requirements. These changes must be considered when designing the alteration or repair. To ensure the safe operation of the item being repaired or altered, the latest accepted code edition and addenda of the construction code, that the item was built to, is normally used for the execution of work (e.g. material controls, welding, fabrication, quality control, performance and acceptance of NDE), as the current code editions reflect advances in technology and experience.
